Tbh the Tories would've lost the next election if Boris was still their leader.

I don't think I have ever seen a UK PM so hated before, and I honestly mean that.

I do however think the Tories do need to stand by one of their leaders, because they do have a habit of snaking them rather than riding the storm with their leaders.

But she also had a massive support base from what I can gather, something that Boris has never had.

Tony Blair wasn't well liked toward the end either. He was another one that was a stranger to the truth

People forget that John Major and his government became really unpopular and scandal-hit in the mid-90s.

Conservatives got absolutely destroyed in 1997 election.

we aligned the pound with the euro and it was an unmitigated disaster because Soros manipulated the exchange rate. It cost us a fortune.

Then all of Majors cabinet aligned against him prompting his recorded expletive laden outburst. Of course we found out later, that was the time period he was having an affair with Edwina Curry ...... those were the days

As for Starmer moaning about Boris being around until the successor is in place, Corbyn remained in position for months while Starmer was elected

The Opposition has the luxury of being able to muck about and drag things out without leading the government without a head.

If it had suited them not to expose him, we’d never have known a thing…and really, he had a lot more to deal with (Brexit, pandemic, the economy, war) than how long he was at a party or who was feeling somebody’s ass (does the government not have an HR department to deal with complaints like this?)

Excellent take on things

A majority of Britons want a caretaker PM to replace Boris Johnson while his permanent successor is elected, according to a snap poll conducted by YouGov.

The survey found that 56 per cent of people want to see an interim PM.

Just under a third (32 per cent) said Mr Johnson should remain in No 10 while a successor is elected.

Almost eight in 10 people - 77 per cent - believe Mr Johnson was right to resign as PM.

Just over a third of people - 36 per cent - believe Mr Johnson has been a "terrible" premier.

dt

They should do a poll on Starmer while they’re at it ..
